Community Solar Gardens are a growing trend, and it’s easy to see why. They give urban customers, smaller businesses, and residential customers an opportunity to buy solar power without having solar installations on their own land. For example, if a 1-megawatt project is installed, instead of the benefit going to one client, 100 different customers may benefit from the renewable energy source. New Energy Equity has run numerous community solar projects and is at the cutting edge of this trend.

Even without land or an appropriate roof, a company or institution can gain the benefit of solar power by participating in a community solar project. Often called a community solar garden, these projects provide a way to support a renewable energy source and be an active green energy advocate. But the benefit is about more than just feeling good. Community solar projects help customers save money because the electricity rate is set at a price lower than conventional grid sources.
National Energy Development sees this double benefit of lower electricity cost and support of green energy with each community solar project it completes.
4309 Broadway, Depew, NY
7mw Project
The Broadway solar project is a 7mw ground-mounted solar panel installation that is grid connected. The array supports approximately 600 users—including households, businesses, and local government entities throughout the area.
Oxford, NY
1.6mw Project
The NYS Veterans’ Home in Oxford, NY installed a solar array on property adjacent to the nursing home. In a subsequent phase, an additional 500 kW AC of solar capacity was added to the site. The expanded solar array is directly connected to the grid.
1050 New Road, Amherst, NY
4.7mw Project
Currently under construction, this 4.7 MW solar project in Amherst, New York is designed to deliver clean, renewable electricity to approximately 1,000 homes throughout the Amherst area. Once completed, it will help reduce reliance on traditional energy sources and support the region’s transition to sustainable power.
4808 Route 219, Great Valley, NY
4.65 mw project
Currently underway, the Great Valley solar project is transforming a former 70-year-old gravel pit into a hub for clean energy. No longer in use for gravel production, this reclaimed 5-acre site will soon host a solar array, thanks to a partnership between NED and the town of Great Valley. This initiative repurposes the land for sustainable solar energy generation, turning an idle space into a valuable renewable resource.
